Lukovë Village

 In Himare, the village of Lukov is located midway between Piqeras and Saint Vasili. Lukova stands out for its forested area, which blends smoothly with the Ionian Sea's blue colour. Its coastal climate and alpine climate mix so well together.

According to studies on the founding and history of Lukova, it is believed to date back to the Middle Ages, possibly during the final centuries of Byzantium. It was also an early Illyrian settlement, dating back to antiquity. Up to the turn of the 20th century, males typically wore ‘fustanella’. While the women of Lukova wear similar traditional clothing to neighboring villages in this province. Wedding or holiday ceremonies, with their own polyphonic music, are of particular importance.

Lukova is at a highly advantageous geographic location and is only 21 kilometers from Saranda. It is located on two hills that are host to orange and olive groves. Its wide coast hosts a large number of beaches, starting from small beaches with an intimate atmosphere, to beaches so visited by vacationers such as: Caves beach, Bunec beach, etc.

It continues to be a particularly attractive location for tourists who enjoy natural environment, beaches with Ionian Sea water that is crystal clear, and a diversity of marine life.
